GI Tract & Vessels (Ach) - W2 Flashcards

1
Q

What is the function and features of the stomach?

A
  • receives food + saliva from esophagus and acts as reservoir where the digestive enzymes can break it down.
  • Parts
    • greater curvature - attaches greater omentum
    • lesser curvature - lesser omentum
    • fundus - left 5th interspace
    • cardiac orifice - has cardiac sphincter
    • body
    • pylorus
    • rugae - folds

Q

What are the parts of the pylorus of the stomach, and what does the pyloric sphincter do?

A
  • Pyloric antrum
  • pyloric canal
  • pyloric sphincter
    • controls passage of chyme into duodenum
    • true sphincter - thick ring of circular muscle

Q

How can you tell the difference between jejunum & ileum?

A

Q

What does inflammation of the appendix cause?

Where is pain referred intially and why?

What will become affected late?

A
  • Appendicitis
    • when it ruptures can lead to peritonitis
  • referred pain to T10 due to autonomic nerves and where they convege

Q

What is a diverticululum?

What causes it?

Who is it common in?

Most commonly found where?

A
  • Diverticululum
    • abnormal pouch that forms in the wall of the colon caused by increased intracolonic pressure pushing against weak intestinal wall.

A
  • supraduodenal
  • superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries
  • right gastro-omental (gastro-epiploic)
19
Q

Superior Mesenteric Artery

  • What does it supply?
  • Where does it arise?
    • Where do its branches go and what do they supply?
A

  • arises from abdominal aorta 1cm below celiac trunk at L1
  • Small intestine
    • inferior pancreaticodudoenal arteries
    • jejunal
    • ileal
  • large bowel

20
Q

Inferior Mesenteric Artery

Supplies?

Arises?

Branches?

22
Q

What artery at the ileocolic junction forms an anastamoes with the superior rectal artery - forms an anatomoes between COLIC ARTERIES

A

marginal artery of Drummond

23
Q

What are the 2 sets of capillaries though which the portal system flows?

A
  1. GI capillaries
  2. Liver capillary beds
24
Q

What vein drains the foregut?

A

splenic vein

Q

How is the hepatic portal vein formed?

A
  • splenic vein recives gastric, gastroepiploic and pancreatic veins
  • receives inferior mesenteric vein
  • joins with superior mesenteric vein for form the hepatic portal vein

forms posterior to the neck of the pancreas

29
Q

What is the cause of portal hypertension?

A
  • increase in pressure and engorgement of vessels from obstruction of portal circulation
    • within liver, tumor/cirrhosis
    • outside liver - compression of portal vein (tumor)
30
Q

What are the symptoms of portal hypertension?

A
  • ascites
  • GI bleeding - esophageal varices, rectal hemorrhoids

31
Q

What receives lymph from the abdomen

A

cisterna chyli

32
Q

Where does lymph flow from the jejunum, ileum and colon?

A

aorta

33
Q

What are the 3 nodes that lie adjacent to each of the unpaired arteries

A

celiac node

superior mesenteric node

inferior mesenteric node

34
Q

What organs does the celiac trunk supply (6)

A
  1. stomach
  2. duodenum
  3. liver
  4. gall bladder
  5. pancrease
  6. spleen
35
Q

If the gastric ulcer erodes the stomach wall, what artery could cause a GI bleed?

A

splenic artery

36
Q

What organs does superior mesenteric artery supply?

A
  1. Pancreas
  2. duodenum
  3. jejunum
  4. ileum
  5. cecum, appendix
  6. ascending colon
  7. hepatic flexure
  8. proximal 1/3 of transverse colon
37
Q

What does the inferior mesenteric vessels supply?

A
  • distal 2/3 of transverse colon
  • descending colon
  • sigmoid colon
  • rectum
38
Q

What areas of the colon are prone to ischemia?

A
  • right colon - marginal artery is poorly developed
